Gareth Hardy

Hi Everyone,

Well the last week as been completely unusual weather wise for all over the country but especially this side of the country. With the course being shut over the 3 days at the weekend it would have been a golf free weekend for most of us.

As we know from last week Gareth was scheduled to fly out to South Africa on Saturday and with his flight being cancelled from Glasgow on the Friday there was a mad rush to get flights sorted. He eventually found a flight on Saturday afternoon from Edinburgh and arrived safely in South Africa on Sunday morning.

Loads of new product still arriving into the shop for the season ahead so give us a visit into the shop and we can get you sorted out with all the new gear for the season ahead.

Coach's Corner

Over the last week Gareth’s coaching diary has started getting extremely busy with the start of the season looming and with the new bays up and running allowing him to teach whilst the beast from the east was hitting us hard.

Again, this week a lot of people are booking gapping sessions as more and more people are seeing how worthwhile it can be for your golf and how it can help bring your scores down in competitions.

If you think a gapping session or any other lesson would be worthwhile for you before the season kicks off then pop into the shop and we can book something in Gareth's diary for him returning home.

To book your gapping session give us a call on 01292 473904 or click here to book your slot.

A gapping session only costs £35 for the 1-hour session.

If you want to work on your technique book a lesson below fast while slots last.

Rule of the week

What happens with Loose Impediments in a bunker?

Find out what the answer is in next week’s newsletter.

Did you get the answer to last week’s rule?

What is the definition of casual water in golf?

"Casual water" is any temporary accumulation of water on the course that is not in a water hazard and is visible before or after the player takes his stance. Snow and natural ice, other than frost, are either casual water or loose impediments, at the option of the player. Manufactured ice is an obstruction.

Special offer

Get a grip..

Thinking of regripping your clubs but not sure what to go with?

This year we are re-running the FREE 7 iron regrip promotion in conjunction with Golf Pride. The new Multi Compound Align grip is available in this year’s promotion and it is well worth a try.

When installed on a shaft, the new Align ridge rises and extends down the back of the grip to aid better hand alignment and more consistency, locking the hands in place every time.

A more consistent grip produces more consistent shots so drop your 7 iron in for a regrip to see the benefits of Align.

Listen to what he has to say

We’ve been hammering home the importance of getting your clubs regripped for the past few weeks now, so we thought we’d take a closer look at one particular grip that we’re currently offering to put on your 7-iron for FREE…

Interview with David Leadbetter | Golf Instructor

Why try the Golf Pride Align grip?
You might think launching a new golf grip is like reinventing the wheel, but this Golf Pride Align grip really has broken the mould. Its key feature is the raised ridge on the back of the grip. By feeling this ridge each time you hold a club, you’ll have a physical aid to your grip position. This will help you achieve more consistent hand placements, which should only lead to more consistent results.

Stuck for space?

If you’re considering a new electric trolley this year there’s no reason to look anywhere else. Motocaddy’s improved range for 2018 offers a choice of two series – S-Series and M-Series – and for those of you with a space restriction like a smaller boot, we think the M-Series is the perfect choice.

Motocaddy M1 PRO
This fantastic model folds down roughly 40% smaller than traditional electric trolleys thanks to its innovative frame design. It’s both small and mighty thanks to nine speed settings and an adjustable distance control so you can send it away. It also boasts a locking base design to stop your bag wobbling and an accessory holder with a USB port.

Motocaddy M3 PRO
This trolley takes the M1 PRO and adds some bells and whistles that we think gadget lovers will really like. You get a colour screen that displays a lost ball timer, round timer, clock and battery meter, plus you can measure your drives and the trolley’s total distance covered.

New: Vokey SM7 wedges

If you're thinking of putting new wedges in your bag for the season ahead one thing is for certain: Vokey's SM7 wedges include every loft and grind you could ask for.

But with countless options available it is so important that you don't buy straight off the shelf, but instead come and see a member of the team for a wedge fitting so that you walk away with wedges that are perfectly suited to your game.
